"Dak is obviously extremely relieved this process is over," Prescott's lawyer Jay Perry told The Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, Miss.). "He's looking forward to going back to Dallas and then to California to compete in camp and learn from Tony Romo."

Prescott's arrest came about a week before the draft and he quickly apologized. After the Cowboys drafted him, Prescott was asked what he told teams about his DUI arrest.

"I took full responsibility for my actions," Prescott said. "It was a mistake and I learned from it and it won't happen again. I am going to be a better person because of it. It is in my past. It's something that I can guarantee everyone won't happen again."

Prescott became one of the most revered athletes in Mississippi State history, leading the Bulldogs to three consecutive wins over Top 10 teams in 2014 and the program's first No. 1 ranking while catapulting himself into the Heisman Trophy conversation.

After earning two degrees at Mississippi State - his undergraduate in educational psychology and his master's in workforce leadership - Prescott impressed NFL scouts at the Senior Bowl in January and was named the game's most outstanding player.
